Evan and Betsy first met during their first week at Indiana Wesleyan University. Betsy saw Evan as they were walking out of the chapel in a wave of people, and, seeing his Totoro sweatshirt, decided she simply had to strike up a conversation with this tall, handsome stranger. After that, Evan and Betsy were in illustration classes together and grew closer through mutual friendships. Evan was always a bit of a flirt, and it drove Betsy crazy! One day after Evan’s 20th birthday, he finally asked Betsy to be his “GF”, and things have been sweet ever since!
(As told by Betsy) Evan picked me up bright and early and said we were headed to the coffee shop! This was a little suspicious, considering that he already had two fresh cups of coffee in the car for us… but I happily went along for the ride, even when we cruised down the highway way past the exit for the coffee shop. We kept going and going until Evan stopped the car in beautiful little Madison, Indiana. We went where the day took us, strolling through art studios, galleries, antique stores, music shops, and a restaurant where I ate the best chicken sandwich of my entire life. In the golden sunlight of the afternoon, we wandered to a secluded little church garden, where Evan pulled out a little green box with a beautiful ring inside. He popped the question, and the answer was the easiest "yes" of my life!
